Before the World Cup match between Brazil and Cameroon, a bar in Sha Tin staged a "war of words" among drinkers, involving off-duty police officers.
According to sources, the incident involved off-duty police officers of the Criminal Investigation Team of the Kwai Tsing Police District. In the early morning of Friday (25th), they were having fun at a bar on Tai Chung Bridge Road, Sha Tin. After an off-duty policeman left the bar, suspected of being under the influence of alcohol, he returned to the bar alone and showed his warrant card.
It is reported that personnel from the uniformed patrol team arrived at the scene to deal with the incident after receiving the report, and the case is now being handed over to the New Territories South Regional Crime Squad for follow-up.
